Stealing Your Riffs
The commission percentage was not bad, between 33% to 40% of the selling price. If you sold 1000 packets at $ 20 cents a packet in 1968, you earned at least $66 dollars. For a child fund raising for some organization that’s a lot of simoleons.
Maybe you’ll win a watch, a radio, or a bicycle! Or, not since they went out of business in 1981.
It’s amazing they lasted so long on the honor system. A kid responded to a print advertisement. The company fronted them seeds without requiring payment. American Seeds was doing it in 1949, but other companies were using a similar method in the 1930’s. I guess trust and honor went to shit by the 80’s. Too many children did not pay the company by 1981 and the went under.
